2008 Davidson Wildcats Basketball Preview

The Davidson Wildcats (29- 7 overall, 20- 0 Southern) have been
to the NCAA Tournament three years running. Last season, after putting
in a perfect conference record, the Wildcats made it to the NCAA
Elite Eight. In the process, they beat Gonzaga 82- 76, Georgetown
74- 70 and Wisconsin 73- 56. Their bid for the National Championship
came to an end when they lost to the team that would win the National
Championship—the Kansas Jayhawks 59- 57.

Forwards Boris Meno and Thomas Sander are both gone. Together,
they averaged 14.1 PPG and 10.2 RPG. Junior forward Stephen Rossiter
(13.4 MPG, 3.0 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 0.8 APG, 60.3 FG%, 64.1 FT%) will see
more time while forward Ben Allison, who was redshirted last year
as a freshman, will play important minutes. Six-foot-ten frosh Frank
Ben-Eze will have an instant impact. Senior forward Andrew Lovedale
(21.6 MPG, 6.8 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 0.5 APG, 54.1 FG%, 65.4 FT%) will be
responsible for stepping up and making major strides. He’s
got the talent to do so.

The backcourt is defined by one player—Stephen Curry (33.1
MPG, 25.9 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 2.9 APG, 48.3 FG%, 89.4 FT%). Curry, who
could have gone to the NBA, starts his junior season. Last year,
he was first team All-American, and this year, he should repeat
that performance. Curry, who has played shooting guard in the past,
is a sure ball handler who will move over to the point spot. At
times, he’ll switch back to the wing. When he does, sophomore
guard Brendan McKillop (4.9 MPG, 2.2 PPG, 0.4 RPG, 0.4 APG, 61.9
FG%, 100.0 FT%) will take over the command position.

Coach Bob McKillop has high expectations for this team. Not only
did they put in a perfect conference mark last year, but they came
within two points of upsetting powerhouse Kansas. This season, the
Wildcats will once again go the Big Dance. How will they do? Chances
are two-and-out. Still, the tournament isn’t called March
Madness for nothing. This is the team that beat Gonzaga and Georgetown
in last year’s Big Dance. One thing is certain the Davidson
Wildcats will be a contender.
